Updated the software on my S21+ today (Nov 19, 2023) and the vertical green line appeared. Can Samsung do something to resolve this with another update.

Hi, try visiting the service centre and show them the above news article.

This is not a software issue, sadly it's a hardware which means the only resolution is getting your screen replaced. Consensus I heard was this is very likely caused by heat damage as the phone may get considerably hot during the update, consistent with my experience previously.

How can they use such excuse? Update = heat = green line?

In the past, my Note 10+ had updated multiple times and overheated many times during update, but no green/pink line.

Yup.. I strongly believe it's software related that damages the screen.
